The novel I am writing has a plot like the above. Though you can't avoid copying because I'm not sharing the unfinished thing with anyone, and I shan't be done for ages
Really? B'oh! *
Ahh well, its not so bad. The plan is to write a few strange short stories revolving around that theme, link 'em together and see if they will bear the weight of a greater, bigger thing built around them.
*Regular readers will notice my new favourite cry of frustration, "B'oh!". It is not merely an alteration of Homer's famous cry, but is from Stephen Fry's stupidly voiced cry in a comedy "Oh dear!" sense from his Control sketch on 'A Little Bit of Fry & Laurie'. What? No one cares? B'oh!
